wow, that is amazing. playing that in full res on my computer monitor was unreal.I did send the video to my sony via apple TV, too, but clearly the resolution was not the same - still looked great, though.

If you had a helium drone that could do a reasonable job holding position, and an extremely high-resolution camera with an extremely wide-angle lens, I wonder if you could run the resulting video through one of those camera steadying algorithms to produce some decent timelapse that appears to be from a totally static viewpoint.
